I’m not sure what decisions are whose anymore. It appears the board makes
more and more.

Absolutely. Our administrators are educated, caring, dedicated professionals,
and they seem to be silenced by our Board. Their opinions/input are not asked
for or valued.

Yes, they do micromanage.You should trust the people that you hire to do their jobs.

In some cases yes. When it comes to educational decisions, they should defer
to the people with more experience and expertise in that area.

Yes. Administrators are trained in Education. They understand in a way that the
board cannot unless they have worked in the schools. I think an administrators
viewpoint should be more valued than a board members.

They micromanage and have an over paid superintendent that is their puppet!

I believe our principals have a better understanding of the work ethic of the teachers. I do not think that Chris Joch truly knows the hours and commitment of his staff. The school board seems to be obtuse to the hours of dedication employees put in.

Yes. Administration should have more say, as they’re the ones working in the
schools and with the school staff on a daily basis. They have more
understanding of the educational world.

I have always felt that our school board “micro manages”. An example was when purchasing textbooks they should defer to the teachers in the field and not try to push what they want onto the district. I was hard to listen to someone that was not in the educational field talk about what he liked about the textbooks and not take the recommendations of the professionals.

Yes! The calendar and staffing positions should be decided by the
administration, they are the ones with the training in the area.

Yes, but I also feel administration is too scared to speak up for what is best for
their teachers and the students. No one is really advocating or speaking up that
this is not okay. It starts from top down. They keep doing everything they are
being told, and this does not help. They need to rally together to say we will not
stand for this. Instead of running around rapidly filling out walkabout forms,
maybe take a minute to stop in classrooms and actually interact with the
students. There is a new philosophy. To come stand in people’s rooms and stare
at people or keep writing everything they say is just weird, ackward, and very
uncomfortable. When can we start shadowing the school board and
administration and doing some evaluations as well?

Yes, then I would hope they would be more informed about educational
practices and realities
